LATEST PG SHOWCASE REPORT
2020 14U National Showcase
Blake Larson is a 2024 LHP/1B/OF with a 6-1 140 lb. frame from Des Moines, IA who attends Southeast Polk. Long and lean frame with great projection. Ran a 7.55 second 60-yard dash. Primary left-handed pitcher, small side step and quick to the gather, loose arm with tremendous arm speed for the age, gets down the mound well and comes out of the hand with some ease, big life to the arm side on the fastball, in the zone comfortably with it, mixes in a pair of secondaries in the form of a developing breaking ball with good spin out of 1 to 7 shape and a more advanced changeup with great dive off to the arm side. Also worked out in the outfield with strong athletic actions, comes through it well and uses arm speed to generate good carry out of the hand to bags. Left-handed hitter, spread stance to start, quickness and looseness to hands shows right away, works on a fluid path that gets slightly uphill, finds and turns the barrel over well and projects big with added strength. Selected to 2020 14U PG Select Baseball Festival.
